“The band nailed it with fury! While the real Pink Floyd will never come back, the next time PIGS tours, it is a must for you to see and EXPERIENCE them!”

“At first, I was skeptical. I saw the ads for PIGS floating around social media, billing themselves as Canada’s most authentic Pink Floyd tribute band. But what could compare to seeing Pink Floyd in real life? My thoughts were nothing, it can’t be that good. Boy, was I ever wrong. These guys nailed it and the vocals… well, if your eyes were closed, you would have a hard time telling if it were actually Roger Waters and David Gilmour, or a good tribute band, on stage. Really enjoyed it. 10/10”
